Leader of Opposition in MP Assembly, Ajay Singh, and Congress MLAs Govind Singh and Arif Aqueel, staged the protest outside Chouhans official residence in Shyamla Hills area in the state capital.

Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh had also yesterday demanded that Arya be sacked from the cabinet.

On May 19, a special court in Bhind had issued an arrest warrant against Arya in the 2009 murder case of Jatav, but stayed its execution till June 3, on a plea made by the ministers counsel.

The Leader of Opposition said despite a case of murder being registered in the matter and the court issuing an arrest warrant, state BJP president Nandkumar Singh Chauhan was stating that it (court order) is not acceptable.

"The protest will continue till Arya, who is an accused in a murder case, resigns or is sacked from the cabinet. The agitation will also be held at district and block levels on the issue," state Congress spokesman J P Dhanopia told PTI.
